The government imposed the lockdown so it's absolutely up to them to ensure people can pay their rent and put food on the table during that time.Not really. It's not the governments job to just give everyone handouts for an unlimited period of time. It doesn't 'have to' do that. Nature has dealt a cruel blow by this virus spreading around the globe and it's very unlucky for a lot of people that their industries have been effected more than others. Unless you meant that it's the fault of the government for actually shutting everything down in the first place (a view that I have some sympathy for). The economy will not just 'come back' either, the working man will be paying through the nose through various taxes etc for many years to pay for all of the people/companies being bailed out at the moment. Brexit pails into an absolute insignificance now whichever side you're on.
